a few LEDs
i tried coloring the bulbs with a sharpie...just spend the 10 bucks and do it right. like some other people said i hooked up the led bulbs where ever i could in a few minutes because i didnt have much cash either. so satisfied with how they look now. i changed em about 6 months ago. start by crackin open the drivers area per the instructions floating around-
new vs. old
here is the before pic of two coats of blue sharpie on the illuminated key ring when i got impatient after i put in the gauge lights
it looked worse than that pic
here it is after i got the inverted led bulbs from china...i got a blue and a white for like 2 dollars..i know cameras play some tricks but this is def the blue led haha . where the hotspot is is where the protrusion enters the body of the ring, its not that bad in real life
if youve never seen the actual ring, it has a little protrusion the stock light box shines light in i presume to bounce around in the plastic. after replacing the bulb, the bulb clearly was having problems, but i just used a bit of tape to "aim" the led, and hold it pointing right into this protrusion, which made the ring noticibly a lot brighter sorry i didnt take a pic of this
the inverted 194 leds were quite cheap something like 5 dollars for 10. there are obvious hotspots in the photo but less obvious in real life and so much better than that green i didnt care. the doors are insanely bright and light up the entire inside of the car from behind the seats as you crack the door.
this picture is digitally corrected and looks like it does in the car save for the white parts which are the less pronounced hotspots.

I just got different kind of cellophane, yea the first kind I tried looked pink like cause I think it was too thick. It looks better now.
I didnt cut the dimmer wire. If I do what will it do? does it just prevent the clock from dimming when you put the lights on?

so which mods have you decided on? I just ordered some AE door sills from courtesy parts

I don't really like how the 2k1 "Maxima" script doesn't match the 2k2 script, but I'm thinking about de-badging my trunk anyway, so oh well.
